How do you deal with sadness?
Getting drunk doesn't cure it though... it's just a temporary measure to forget for time being.

Why can't I ever get what I want in life? Minsan iniisip ko ano ba ginawa kong kasalanan sa mundo to deserve this miserable life.
You need to seek the advice of a professional. One day you are so upbeat; and, then, suddenly, you're off that it seems the whole weight of the universe is crushing down on you. Don't give up the fight. There are many people who would want trade places with you. You don't need to go far, just take a look around you. Go to Payatas. Senator Leila De Lima, ugly that she is, sold by her equally ugly boyfriend, who believes she is persecuted, is not giving up the fight.
The work of a moderator is not easy. Before the eyes (or mind) of your subject, you need to be, or thought of to be, a tower of strength. You must exude equanimity. Tsikot forumers are mostly in their late 30s, early or late 40s, and some early 50s, who are, by all accounts, successful in their respective fields. There are here doctors, lawyers, CPAs, businessmen, and highly educated and intelligent professionals who graduated from prestigious universities in the Philippines and abroad. These are your subjects. You cannot effectively discharge your duty as a censor if you are perceived to be weak.
So, get your act together and show us that you still have it to govern our discussion here. Otherwise, and with all due respect, you lose the moral ascendancy to censor us.
why? i can think of some...
1. it would destroy you, if you get what you want.
2. you're only wishing for it, but you are not working hard enough for it, yet.
3. "i have better plans for you. just be patient, my child."
some people count their blessings, in lieu of dwelling on the sadness of their life. sabi nga ni ted faylon, "buhay ka pa! gumising ka pa today, na may pagkain sa mesa! does that not count for anything?"
Masturbation is a proven stress relief - can work to free negativity and sadness too. It brings a moment of bliss there after, a moment of calmness.
alcohol and drugs cover up sadness but the effect wears off so you'll be dependent on those things to cope with sadness
so now you got a new problem on top of your sadness --- addiction
